TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, HERMANN Bane and ANDREW BLESSING, both ofSpringfield, Hampden county, Oommonwealth of Massachusetts, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners; and we herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and toletters of reference marked thereon. I I

This drawing represents a side view of our improved burner.

Our improvement consists in a peculiar. arrangement of a reflector inconnection with a gas-burner having a number ofjets, as we will now morefully describe.

We form the burner in two or more branches, A B C D, thus dividing theflame into a number of small jets, and centrally between these jets weplace the spherical reflector E, so that the light is reflected in alldirections, making a brilliant and pleasant light. The number of theseburners may be increased indefinitely, and in many places, as in highlights, the branches may be brought down around the reflector so thatthe light may be thrown down beneath, or the details of arrangement maybe otherwise varied; but

Now, having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a gas-burner having a globular ordome-shaped reflector arranged between the lights of thesame,substantially as herein set forth. Y
